Defining the Jawline, Chin, and Neck
Sharpening the Lower Face from Above and Below
The Biological Cause
A defined lower face depends on two things working together: enough underlying structure to project the chin and edge the jaw, and a clean, taut line beneath it. Age and genetics erode both.
Bone and deep fat recede, so the chin and jaw lose projection, while loose skin and stubborn submental fat — a “double chin” — soften and blur the boundary between the face and neck.
Our Clinical Approach
At Kootenay Cosmetic Clinic we address the lower face from both directions. Teoxane Ultra Deep filler restores projection to the chin and jaw, Belkyra permanently dissolves the fat of a double chin, and the InMode Morpheus8 and/or Forma RF platform tightens the loose skin beneath the jaw for a cleaner, sharper contour.
